re: The purpose of 7-on-7????

I agree with the OP mostly. I still think football is a game that rewards those that can win their physical match ups. 7 on 7 doesn't necessarily emphasize this, I think a moderate amount of this is fine, but given the huge number of reps some of these kids take in 7s, it is almost like a different sport and may not help as much as some think. Getting hit in the mouth or pressured may come as such a shock they have a harder time with the real deal.

I'm not downing 7-on-7's, I just didn't get it! I'm NOT a football guru! I'll admit my knowledge is limited because I never played football other than pickup ball on the playground or someone's backyard. I kept my talents on the hardwood. Tigerfoot you made my point. I was thinking how will someone of these kids respond when the pads go on next month! I understand the timing and reps and such. I still don't feel the emphasis placed on it today is all that helpful in a live game situation. Just my opinion!
